Integrating Innovation for Sustainability

For more than 107 years, Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area (LSSNCA) has embraced innovation, continuously evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of the communities we serve.   

Today, LSSNCA remains committed to innovation and service. In response to shifting funding landscapes and increased community needs, LSSNCA is proud to announce the launch of LSSNCA Social Enterprise Services—a new strategic initiative designed to broaden our impact and create sustainable revenue streams that support our core mission. 

These services include:  

Citizenship and Immigration Legal Services 

As of June 1, 2025, LSSNCA has broadened its immigration legal services, making low-cost assistance available to the wider community. These services will provide critical assistance with: 

  • Naturalization and citizenship applications 
  • Green card renewals and adjustments of status 
  • Work permits and travel documents 
  • Other immigration-related legal support 

This expansion allows us to meet a growing need for low bono immigration legal services in our community. 

Resource Center Rental  

LSSNCA’s Resource Center offers a unique, welcoming space for community and organizational use. Its versatile rooms and event spaces are ideal for: 

  • Educational workshops and training sessions 
  • Professional development and networking events 
  • Legal clinics, wellness programs, and cultural celebrations 

Renting the Resource Center is an opportunity to support a vibrant community hub while partnering with us to ensure your event is both meaningful and successful. 

Evaluation and Quality Assurance Services for Nonprofits 

With decades of experience in nonprofit operations, LSSNCA now offers tailored Evaluation and Quality Assurance (EQA) support for organizations in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. 
Our EQA services include: 

  • Accreditation and compliance support 
  • Data-driven program evaluation 
  • Strategic planning and operational assessments 

Using the proven Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) framework, our team delivers hands-on, customized guidance to help nonprofits improve performance, demonstrate outcomes, and achieve long-term success. 

A Sustainable Future Rooted in Service 

From supporting families after World War II to pioneering services in mental health and HIV/AIDS support, LSSNCA has always adapted to foster lasting impact. These new social enterprise services are a continuation of that legacy. By blending deep community knowledge with innovative practices, LSSNCA Social Enterprise Services expands our reach, strengthens our impact, and supports long-term sustainability.  

Revenue generated will be reinvested to close funding gaps left by federal rollbacks, ensuring we not only respond to change, but actively address community challenges and needs. Thank you for joining us in building a more holistic, sustainable future.
